The Slow Strangulation of Galaxies, Two New Planets Predicted, and Can We Finally See Dark Matter?

This week, in what sounded like a zoo, Laura and I discuss an exoplanet that it too big for its parent star, astronomers predicting at least two new planets in our solar system, the deaths of galaxies by slow strangulation, and the biggie: have we learned to see dark matter as they emits gamma rays whilst falling into a black hole?

One response to “The Slow Strangulation of Galaxies, Two New Planets Predicted, and Can We Finally See Dark Matter?”

So is this speculating that it is the dark matter that emits gamma rays ” But if dark-matter particles around black holes can produce gamma-rays (high-energy light), such emissions would give scientists a new way to study this mysterious material.”
It is well known that at the centre of the galaxy there is high emissions of gamma rays, to say this is dark matter and black holes is stretching things a bit far.https://problemswiththebigbang.wordpress.com/2015/04/13/big-bang-problems-anyone-2/
